I don’t know which is better, the music or the dancing.

ChuckV · February 10, 2021, 1:18am

Sweet Charity! I think I may have spotted Ben Vereen, but I’m not certain. He’s definitely elsewhere in the film, but I’m not certain about this number.

kxkvi · February 10, 2021, 3:24am

Is this video part of a longer piece?

ChuckV · February 10, 2021, 3:18pm

The footage comes from the feature length Sweet Charity made in 1969. The music is more recent, of course.

I would not have guessed. Some of the moves look so modern (like moving the head back & forth and side to side without angling the head.

ETA: from the description:

Here Italian native Fab Samperi justified his place in the series with a killer cut, The Big Swing (2016). This video includes extracts from the wonderful choreography of Bob Fosse (most famous for directing Cabaret) and his film Sweet Charity.

Extracts? So is it a mix of the new and the old?

ChuckV · February 10, 2021, 4:44pm

To me, it all looked like it came from Sweet Charity.

Here’s the original number:

And an article about it:

Wow, that’s FABULOUS! Thanks for posting this and answering all my questions. In context I can see the dance moves that are very late sixtyish.

ChuckV · February 10, 2021, 5:59pm

While we’re doing Fosse, might as well throw in this, the closing number of All That Jazz, a film I remember as being still considered a big deal when I was young, but I think it’s been eclipsed by Cabaret these days.

In context, I think this is a great number, although I admit that if you haven’t seen the whole film and therefore have no reason to care about Scheider’s character (and haven’t gotten accustomed to the overwhelming ‘70sness of it all) one might find more than a few nits to pick.

This spoils the movie, of course:

I feel like I got a contact buzz watching/listening to that.

First time I’ve seen and heard this, and it’s a pretty remarkable crossover tribute/cover: Mongolian Metallica

Twice over the last year I’ve woken up with this going through my head, but the only lyric I could recall is “know where to go…” which out of context I heard as “nowhere to go” which meant I couldn’t google it to find out what it was. After the second time, I figured it out.

DaakSyde · March 25, 2021, 7:28am

What happens when you mix Metallica with Bluegrass?

Specifically, Man of Constant Sorrow with Harvester of Sorrow:

The result is neither and both and just weird.
